evening.

Qin Luo left Longhu Temple.

He appeared in Yongfeng Town in the blink of an eye.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Qin Luo arrived at Lin Xuan's courtyard.

Lin Xuan had just returned home when he saw Qin Luo and quickly asked, "Junior Brother Qin, is Jia'er willing to study?"

Qin Luo nodded, "After Jia'er spent two days at Longhu Temple, she agreed to study at Jinghu Academy. I will bring her back once a month from now on. I need to prepare for class tomorrow, so I didn't bring her back."

"That's good."

Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

Yao Shuang came into the courtyard and said warmly, "Junior Brother Qin, you've come at just the right time. I was just about to cook some dishes."

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly, "Sister-in-law, let me show you Jia'er."

Lin Xuan and Yao Shuang were a little confused, so they followed Qin Luo to the water tank.

Qin Luo placed a peach petal in the water vat, causing ripples to spread across the surface, and images slowly emerged from within.

Yao Shuang's eyes were filled with shock.

Scenes of Lin Jia'er playing appeared on the water: skipping stones in Mirror Lake, catching fish in the stream, picking purple fruits in the mountains, patrolling the mountains with Xiao Tuanzi, helping Lao Gao plow the fields, and making bamboo dragonflies. As these scenes unfolded, Yao Shuang and Lin Xuan looked at each other, feeling both moved and guilty.

Yao Shuang rubbed her eyes and said gratefully, "Junior Brother Qin, thank you so much."

Lin Xuan said with a wry smile, "We should stay with her."

Knowing their difficulties, Qin Luo smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you are dedicated to healing the sick and saving lives. When Jia'er grows up, she will definitely be proud of you."

"It's all part of life."

Lin Xuan waved his hand modestly.

Yao Shuang wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Husband, you stay and chat with Junior Brother Qin, I'll go cook some dishes now."

"Junior Brother Qin, let's go inside and talk."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

...

After finishing their meal, Qin Luo smiled and reminded Lin as he left, "Senior Brother Lin, if there are peach blossoms in the water tank when you go home in the future, keep an eye out. You might be able to see what Jia'er is doing at school."

"Junior Brother Qin, if I ever manage to refine an elixir of immortality, I'll give it to you first."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with my senior brother."

"Hahaha."

Qin Luo turned and disappeared into the night.

When they returned to Longhu Temple, the temple was very quiet, with only Ziyue still sitting cross-legged on the platform cultivating.

In the backyard of the Taoist temple, the moonlight was bright and clear, with occasional peach blossoms falling. The moon's skin shimmered with silver light. Qin Luo gently reminded her, "Junior Sister, get some rest."

Zi Yue opened her eyes and nodded with a smile, "Okay, senior brother, you should rest early too."

"Good night."

Qin Luo returned to his room and lay down on the bed to rest. Three lotus flowers appeared in his mind.

The scenes within the three lotus flowers are different. Besides Qin Luo's consciousness, there are two blurry figures. "The golden lotus flower I am in depicts the scene of the Golden Age. Why is it different from my environment?"

"Are these sights just illusions?"

Qin Luo wanted to reach that golden age through the golden lotus, but the sound of wind reached his ears. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a gust of wind rushed towards him, causing his body to involuntarily retreat.

"This is?!"

Qin Luo looked at her small hands.

A broken branch flew towards him, and Qin Luo grabbed it and swung it in front of him.

The whole world fell silent instantly.

Qin Luo suddenly woke up with a start. He sat up, and before him was still the Dragon Tiger Temple, with the words written by Hua Ying and Xiao Tuanzi on the walls. The scene from just now kept flashing through his mind.

The moonlight, like water, filled the room. Qin Luo recalled the scene just now, the feeling of reality was definitely not a dream. He murmured softly, "That sword strike I received when I was a child was not accidental. My consciousness can connect to the past?"

Qin Luo's consciousness had previously resided in his childhood body, and now, with the same experience, those deep-seated memories became exceptionally clear, as if his consciousness could return to the past if he so desired.

"Let's go to sleep!"

Qin Luo was not yet proficient in this ability, and he did not want to try it lightly, lest it bring negative consequences.

The next day, early morning.

Qin Luo took Lin Jia'er to Jinghu Academy.

Jinghu Academy is quite a distance from Longhu Temple, so Qin Luo didn't use the Shrinking Earth technique, but instead accompanied Lin Jia'er on foot to school.

Lin Jia'er carried a white shoulder bag, her little face tense. They got up very early and walked very fast. The leaves on the leaves in the mountains were covered with white frost. Xiao Tuanzi and Xuan Qing were still sleeping at Longhu Temple, and only Xiao Die followed beside Lin Jia'er.

Half an hour later, Qin Luo brought Lin Jia'er to the canteen of Jinghu Academy, where there was free porridge, and even steamed buns, mantou, and eggs were free.

The money spent on Jinghu Academy was mainly provided by Zhang Fulong, with some donations from the people in the mountains.

Qin Luo led Lin Jia'er through the process of queuing for food in the cafeteria. When Qin Luo saw Su Rong, he introduced her with a smile: "Auntie, this is my senior brother's daughter, Jia'er. She will be studying at Jinghu Academy in the future."

"Jia'er, this is Aunt Ziyue's mother. You should call her Auntie." Qin Luo said softly.

"Grandma."

Lin Jia'er called out with a smile.

"Studying is hard work, you should eat more."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Jia'er nodded obediently.

Faced with an unfamiliar environment, Lin Jia'er was relatively quiet. She drank her porridge, and Qin Luo peeled an egg for her. The younger staff in the cafeteria were all looking at them.

Qin Luo smiled and comforted her, "Jia'er, it's normal to feel uncomfortable on the first day. You'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Jia'er nodded obediently.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Luo led Lin Jia'er and Xiao Die to the Pu Yu Class. At this time, Linglong was standing on the podium. The classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Linglong coughed softly, her pretty face expressionless, and said calmly, "Lin Jia'er, the seat near the podium is yours. Xiao Die, your seat is at the very back."

Xiaodie was much taller than the other children, so she naturally sat at the very back. As for the spot near the podium, everyone knew that it was reserved for children who didn't listen to the lecture.

Lin Jia'er was a little nervous. She had originally thought she would be able to sit with Xiao Die, but she didn't expect to be seated alone.

On the other side of the stage was Fan Tong. He looked at Lin Jia'er with a joyful expression. He used to sit alone in the special seat, but now he had a companion.

Lin Jia'er walked to her seat with a blank expression. Usually restless, she felt very uncomfortable, but seeing Linglong's serious face, she dared not move.

Linglong said calmly, "New students, come up and get your textbooks."

Lin Jia'er was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Xiao Die came up and patted her on the shoulder that she came to her senses.

Linglong handed them the "Academy Handbook," the "Thousand Character Classic," workbooks, and willow charcoal pencils. With a serious expression, she said, "I don't care whose children you are. As long as you are in my class, you must listen carefully."

"knew!"

Lin Jia'er nodded weakly.

She thought to herself, "Uncle Qin is still the best."
